Trio lead the way in Delhi

Jeev Milkha Singh got off to a strong start at the Johnnie Walker Classic this afternoon, joining Indian compatriot Shamim Khan and Daniel Vancsik of Argentina at the top of the leaderboard midway through his opening round.

The 2006 Asian Tour Order of Merit winner parred his first five holes at DLF Golf and Country Club near Delhi, before firing birdies at five of the next six to draw level on five-under with Khan and Vancsik, who held the clubhouse lead after rounds of 67 in the morning.
